LOUISIANA TIE PLACE FOR THEM.

Every possible effort should DO made
to turn u part of this years tide Of i'm
migration into Louisiana. No State in
the Union offers better advantages to
the immigrant than Louisiana. It's
climate is mild, fertility of its soil ia
unexcellcd, and it has excellent trans
portatiou facilities, flrst-class mark cts,
churches, schools, and all the conven-
fences desired by home seekers. 1t is
free from the violent meteorological
disturbances of other sections of the
country, and ii offers every induce
ment for settlers who come here with
the intention of being good citizens.
1t is not only to the immigrant
from abroad that an invitation should
be extended, but TO the people from
other States. During the last few years
many Western people have come to
Louisiana to live, and all of them, so
far as heard from, are thoroug bly
pleased with their new homes. Their
experience is the best possible proof of
the excellence of this State AS place
of residence.
Louisiana throws her gates wide
open to brains and enterprise, capital
and labor. and pays handsome returns
on judicious investments. More THAI
that, she gives her new citizens all the
benefits CT her generous hospitality
and good living.-BosSier Banner.

seASHES OF GLORY.o

Judge A. J. Requier, who died in
New York recently and who was IA
of Mobile for many years I'M
til he moved to New York in 1866,
was a poet OF more than ordinary
merit. Al one thine his poems were
we'll known through the South, espec-
tally during the war. His whole SOU!
was in the struggle, and his verses
were full of fire and ardor. Like am
other Southern poet, the lamented
Father Ryan, Judge Requier's best
effort was made when he wrote OF
the furled banner of the Confederacy.
The lines are entitled flashes OF
and are as follows:
Fold up the gorgeous silken sun,
By bleeding martyrs blest,
And heap the laurels it has won
Above its place of rest.
No trumpet's note need harshly blare,
No drum funereal roll
Nor trailing sables drape the bier
That frees a dauntless soul!
1t lived with Lee and decked his brow
From Fate's empyreal Palm;
1t sleeps the sleep OF Jackson now
AS spotless and as calm.
It was outnumbered-not outdone;
And they shall shuddering tell,
Who struck the blow, its latest gun
Flashed ruin as it fell,
Sleep, shrouded Ensign mot the breeze
That smote the victor tar
With death across tho heaving seas
OF fiery Trafalgar;
Not Arthur's knights. amid the gloom,
Their knightly deeds have starred
Nor Gallo Henry's matchless plume,
Nor peerless-born Bayard:
Not all that antique fables feign,
And Orient dreams disgorge;
Nor yet the Silver Cross of Spain
And Lion or st. George
Can bid thee pale! Proud Emblcm, still
Thy crimson glory shines
Beyond the heightened shades that fill
Their proudost kingiy lines.
Sleep in thine own historic night,
And be thy blazoned scroll;
The 10nrTio1's banner, takes its flight
To greet tie 7ra71i07's soul!

George Francis Train says that when
he stopped eating meat, thirteen years
ago, and began living on fruit and
grain he weighed 2l0 pounds and was
uncomfortably stout. His change o,
diet caused him to drop to $50 pounds
within year, and he has held that
weight ever since. He has not been
sick an hour since that time.

HONEY RECIPES.

Among the many nice cakes and
cookies made with honey, we number
the foi!oWing-the recipes given by
most excellent house keeper:
HONEY SPICE BREAD.
Dissolve a teaspoonful Of soda into l.!
cups OF sweet milk at least three hours
before you are ready to mix the cake
(soaking the soda the day before is still
more preferable). Have ready 5 cups
full of honey, 4 eggs, cupful of butter
and one tablespoonful each of ground
anise seed and coriander seed, one
scant teaspoonful of ground cinnamon
and grated nutmeg. Mix honey,
butter and spices thoroughly; add flour
enough to make a stiff batter; next
add the yelks of the eggs and the milk;
when we'll mixed, add the whites
beaten to a stiff froth. Bake in square
tins in gentle oven. One half hour
Is long enough to bake if the cakes are
not too thick. When poured in the
pans the batter should be of such con.
sistency as TO spread evenly in the
pans, though not too readily.
SOFT HONEY COOKIES.
Mix together three cupfuls of liquid
honey, five eggs, scant cupful of lard
or butter, and a heaping teaspoonful of
soda; add the four spices mentioned
above and mix enough flour to make a
shapes, and bake in a quick oven to a
light brown.
CRISP HONEY SNAPS.
To two cupfuis of honey add one or
two eggs, half Il cup of butter, half a
teaspoon of soda, spices to taste, add
flour to mako stiff dough. Roll thin
and bake in quick oven.
SWEET CORN DREAD.
To one pint of cornmeal add one half
cup Of butter milk, one tablespoonful
of lard, one cup of honey into which
one feaspoonful of soda has been
stirred, one egg and a little salt. Bake
in Il quick oven and serve hot.
Never use ginger. Those who have
tried it say the two, honey and ginger,
will not go together.
For cooking blackberry or dewberry
jam, or peaches, nothing equals honey,
and if for nothing else, these alone
should be sufficient inducements for Il
family to keep bees. NJ.
Is Louisiana, which has so long been
derideu by Northern neishbors as II
"mud lump" to turn out great and

Secretary Whitney's New Estate.

An interesting story may be told OF
how the Secretary managed to win
over the former proprietor of the es-
tate (Grasslands.) The tenacity of
the old-time Maryland or Virginia
planter for his patrimonial estates is
proyerbial. He would often rather
exc out an existence of debt and incon-
venience than to sacrifice his acres and
live in competency and relief. With
out word the Secretary made up his
mind what he was willing TO pay for
the estate, which comprised about 105
acres. Instead of greenbacks, prom
issories, bonds, mortgages, and such
mythical evidences of tangible values
to the average rural mind, the Secre-
tary converted the whole sum into hard
bimetallic cash, ''eagles" with golden
wings and standards" bearing the
legend I'm God We Trust" He drove
to the mansion, and seating himself at
a rickety table of the colonial era,
placed the bags of ringing coin before
the mystified relic of the old regime.
Twenty thousand in sight versus spec
ulative crops, realistic taxation and
increasing ratio of dilapidation was
enough TO shake even the traditional
loyalty of the long-suffering and inn
pecunious legatee of an ancient family
and noble name. The bargain was
struck. The Secretary that evening
drove back to town the proprietor of
beautiful estate, the planter remained
with his ducats. Twenty thousand
dollars restored the old family seat to
more than its former splendor. and
never was hospitality more lavishly
dispensed than it is to-day under its
generous host and hostess. PhiEadeL-
